I'm not understanding the whole 'connect-thing': If I want to mine solo, do I need addnode or is solo-mining with a "Sexcoin-qt -connect" possible? If my sexcoin.conf contains listen=1, others who have "Sexcoin-qt -connect" can't connect to my blockchain. So how can I share my own share, if I have found a new block with solo-mining and my sexcoind in connect-mode?
You can solo-mine using connect or addnode.
So whats the difference between "addnode" and "connect"?
-"addnode" tells the client to add this peer as a node BUT ALSO try to add them dynamically through the network.
-"connect" option tells the client to ONLY connect to these peers and these peers ONLY.
"-listen Accept connections from outside (default: 1 if no -proxy or -connect)"
listen=1 option (the default) tells Sexcoin-qt to ACCEPT other client network connections in general. It allows people to connect to your client without getting the address from another node on the network, using -connect will negate listen=1.
When mining using connect, your blocks will be confirmed first by the clients you are directly connected to, which will in turn relay the block information to all the nodes THEY are connected to (and so-on and so-on).
All that being said, I have successfully mined, sent and received coins safely with the block chain being reported by my client as out-of-sync.
Also, note above that the P2Pool is working again
Hope that helps!
Yes. I can confirm. I mined my first solo ever today. I have not more hash-power than kelsey. Lucky Day
